St Mirren vs Motherwell

Six goals, three of them before the break, and St Mirren had every reason to think they'd done the hard work at the SMISA Stadium on Sunday. They led 3-2 at half-time after a first period that had goals flying in from both ends, with Motherwell twice pulled level before finding themselves behind again just before the whistle. It was the kind of half that leaves fans exhausted just watching it, let alone playing in it. The second half told a different story. Neither side could find a way through again, and the game finished 3-3, Motherwell salvaging a point they barely looked like getting at the break. For St Mirren it will feel like two points dropped after leading for so long, while Motherwell will take real encouragement from digging in after falling behind twice. A wild afternoon, and honestly a fair result given how it swung.

St Mirren and Motherwell drew 3-3 at The SMISA Stadium, in a game that could easily have finished either way. It was an even contest for large parts of the afternoon, with neither team able to take control of the game for long. Both sides had spells on top without ever pulling clear, and the shot count on the day backs up just how tight things were. A draw is rarely the result either team sets out to get, but on this occasion it was a fair reflection of ninety minutes where chances were shared roughly evenly.
